Title: Impulsive

Challenge #180: Invitation
Word Count: 100
Notes:  Going WAY back here!


“Come with us,” she said suddenly, not wanting to leave him, but knowing that her friends were waiting.  

“Alright,” he replied and closed his theology textbook to follow her without regret towards a completely different future from the one that he had been diligently preparing for since he was a boy. 

He would attend the London School of Economics instead of the seminary.  Have the White House to call his own instead of a cathedral.  And together they would raise children and grandchildren instead of him leading a parish by himself. 

Who knew an impulsive invitation could change the world?

Thanks Zommbie! I always wondered about Jed and Abbey's courtship, but there's not much to go on.

This is good. When I finished my final papers this past semester, I treated myself to a WW marathon. I watched the very best end of Season 2 stuff, and then I watched Dead Irish Writers. My room-mate, who had never been initiated into WW culture, watched the interaction between Jed and Abby at the beginning ("Now can we please, for the love of God, get out of this room?") and said "I don't know if that's a wonderful marriage or a terrible one." Yeah. I always thought they needed more back story.

I think Stockard Channing and Martin Sheen had a backstory in mind, even if it wasn't really cannon. On paper it was probably a terrible one, but it was the way that Jed and Abbey acted around each other that showed that there really no one else in the world for either them. They weathered so much because they clearly foundtheir strength in each other.
